Preparation: For best results brush out loose material and dust from crack or hole to be filled. Hairline cracks should be slightly enlarged to ensure good filler penetration. Moisten absorbent surfaces with water. Touch in nail and screw heads with an oil-based paint to prevent rusting. Mixing: Only mix an amount that can be used within 2-3 hours.
